Rock band Maneskin, who won the 65th Eurovision Song Contest 2021, took over MTV VMAs' stage on Sunday and performed their popular track 'Supermodel'. Donning risque outfits, the four band members arrived at the award ceremony and grabbed eyeballs from all four corners. When they started performing, a fewfans, who were watching the show live, noted that the performance was being censored andthe cameras were constantly panning away from the stage for extended periods of time. Wondering why? Well, there were more reasons than one for the censorship.

At first, fans felt that Damiano David's bare butt was the reason behind the censorship. However, later, it was discovered thatVictoria De Angelis had a major wardrobe malfunction on stage. During the gig, thebassist hada nip slip when her off-shoulder outfit apparently fell off her shoulder.

Netizens didn't seem pleased with the censorship and many took to social media to slam the broadcaster for not streaming the entire performance. One user wrote, "Damiano is dang sexy. So sexy, he had to be censored. #VMAs #maneskin #eurovision #esc2022. (sic)"
